How can I fix the invisible collection section after switching from .scss to .css?

Hi good people of the community! :slightly_smiling_face:

Your kind help will be much appreciated!

I used .scss on my store up until now, and it worked generally fine in most cases, except there was a collection section on the index page that took ages to load, especially on mobile devices.

Thus, in hope to to fix this issue, I tried switching to .css, as shopify nowadays recommends, by following the following steps:

  1. I viewed the source code of the index page.
  2. I’ve found and opened the file / link that contained: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0467/6848/8604/t/76/assets/theme.scss.css?v=*********************
  3. I opened the link and copied its content to a notepad.
  4. On the the code edit of the theme (Narrative), I uploaded the notepad file as a new asset called “custom_style.css”
  5. I then opened the theme.liquid and changed the stylesheet: “{{ ‘theme.scss.css’ | asset_url }}” part with stylesheet: “{{ ‘custom_style.css’ | asset_url }}”

The result: the store seems to load a bit faster indeed, only the collection section in question is now completely invisible.

Meaning: The thumbnails and the info of the products are there and are clickable, and they can lead you to each of the product page- they are just not visible as the collection section on the index page at all.

Any ideas what went wrong / how to fix this issue?

Million thanks in advance for your assistance!
